Sandra Bark is a collaborator and ghostwriter whose acclaimed projects include ten New York Times best sellers. Her approach to collaborative writing is founded on two relationships—the one an author has with their material and the one that readers will have with the book. With the belief that great books are written with openness and generosity, her focus is always on showcasing each author’s voice and perspective:
Cameron Diaz’s two landmark books about women’s health, drawn from conversations with leading scientists, are warm and accessible. #1 New York Times best seller THE BODY BOOK is based on her passion for fitness and nutrition, and spent six months on the best seller list. #2 New York Times best seller THE LONGEVITY BOOK, a groundbreaking examination of aging, was inspired by her experiences as a woman in Hollywood and her memories of her grandmother’s strength.
Justin Timberlake’s #2 New York Times best seller HINDSIGHT, a collection of personal stories and reflections, is written with his trademark humor and his developing awareness of himself as a father.
Astronaut Hayley Arceneaux’s WILD RIDE is a moving, funny memoir about surviving childhood cancer and going to outer space, grounded in her characteristic optimism.
Jeremiah Brent’s forthcoming THE SPACE THAT KEEPS YOU is an emotional design book that offers an intimate exploration of place and belonging, rooted in his deep curiosity about what it means to truly come home.
For every project—memoir, creative nonfiction, and practical nonfiction—when an author feels a strong connection with their pages during the writing process, she knows they are creating a book that invites readers to feel as if they are in close conversation with the author.
